i8hibsh Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Technology isn't the issue. It's how it is used. Digital literacy, now we're talking! Disagree completely. Kids have distractions 24/7. They have it too easy, way too easy. Everything is too accessible to them. They barely have to think anymore as all their thoughts are done in their hand. Kids barely even play in the streets anymore. They are less hungry for information as all the information is in their hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambos are go! Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 10 years in power, this is shocking. They don't seem to care about our kids, they promised class sizes would be reduced to 18, 10 years ago. History will probably declare it the lost decade.

I went to school in the late 90s and early 00s. Schooling then will be obsolete soon, probably is! I had 20/30 year old text books. Clapped out pcs and a crumbling school. Things are changing to a highly technical and high skill economy. Kids will need good educations for the country to keep being conpetitive globally. Education shoukd get ring fenced and guaranteed funding increases to help keep classes small, resources modern and support staff in post.
